Canada's football team has seen a revolution in the last two decades and some superb players have rosen to prominence
Canada have seen their fair share of success on an international level, even if they don't quite have the same reputation as regional rivals such as USA and Mexico.
Les Rouges won the 1985 CONCACAF Championship to qualify for the 1986 FIFA World Cup, before winning the 2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup and qualify for the 2001 FIFA Confederations Cup.
In fact, hey are the only national team except Mexico and the United States to win a Gold Cup trophy.
And they have had some fine players along the way!
We all know Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David, but let's talk about Julian De Guzman, a true legend and the first Canadian to play in La Liga.
And then there's Junior Hoilett, who Premier League fans will fondly remember for his stints at Cardiff, QPR and Blackburn!
In recent years. the aforementioned Davies and David have been making plenty of headlines, with prolific striker Cyle Larin another big name.
But who is Canada national team's most lethal attacker ever?
Let's take a look!

The greatest goalscorer Canada has produced with 25 goals so far, Cyle Larin has been consistently scoring for the national team since netting his first strike against Puerto Rico in March 2015 in a 3-0 win.
In March 2021, the forward scored his first hat-trick for his country in a 5-1 win over Bermuda in Canada's first 2022 World Cup qualifying match.
Larin then scored a brace in a historic 2-1 win over Mexico in their 2022 World Cup qualifier, helping Canada record their first win against Mexico in 21 years!
He didn't stop there.
In January 2022, Larin scored the opening goal in a 2-0 win for Canada against the United States, thus surpassing Dwayne De Rosario's record and becoming the greatest goalscorer for Canada in history.
